Clio 172
Glanza V all day!! My ex girlfriend had a lovely one that she took from a standard to one to one that had a td04 turbo, bigger intercooler etc and was running around 230bhp and it went like stink, it was featured in banzai magazine before she sold it to buy an evo4.
Glanza out of the 2.
Were it me though, I'd just get a Supra or Skyline out there.

I definitely would get a supra or skyline if I had the money!
I'll see how the cash is flowing when I'm out there, just weighing up my options

Yes you do.
and kill myself 30 secs after buying it? OK!

Oh I'd love to be back in NZ. Just get the quickest, most stupidest thing there. Insurance is ridiculous. I bought a 1989 Toyota Corolla GT and insurance was like £7 a fortnight, LOLZ.

I had a Starlet Gt for 7 years. I couldn't get on with the looks of the Glanza

Yep. I'd have a 32 GTR..haha
I did love my glanza. Pushing a Evo down the road after laughing at me..lol! Another good memory was leaving a MCS works and waiting for him to catch up..
Ph1 Clio V6, Ph2 172
Let me get this right. You want to buy a moderatly quick car that handles like s**t in Newzeland? Why not get a stomping great v8 ute that will probably stick with the 1.3 on the bends yet destroy it in a straight line?
1.3 4 pot fwd over 5.0+ v8 rwd = epic fail.

A few mods and they handle fine. Standard theyre shite. I agree about the rest though..
I would love to get a big V8, but they're all pretty expensive and I don't have that much money to play with, hence why I'm not looking at V8's and I'm looking at starlets

Not really no, laggier than the standard CT9 but from memory I was hitting full boost around 3.5krpm and it pulled upto the redline.
oo doesnt sound too bad tbh, means its easier to stay off the boost when you wanna be fuel efficient

Yep although I'm partial to maroon if too dare I say..

Glanza V for me anyday of the week, or a quadlight gt 2nd best.
Awesome cars with the wicked little 4efte engines, so well equipped for there age. My brother had one running just shy of 200bhp and that was epic fun and more than a hairfull, didnt handle overly well but that could well be down to the suspension setup.
And one with one of my old novas...
